Mon Cherie Paris

Traveling to Paris can be a little intimidating for the first time and there is a reason for that! As visitors we are so focused on cramming as much sight seeing as possible in the short vacation time we are given, but as natives, they have every day to explore the city. But since there are so many hidden gems in the city of love, how do you pick?

Well first lets talk about maneuvering the city…because its not as easy as it seems.

Arrondissement

To answer your foreseen question, an arrondissement is what we would consider as a district and Paris is split up into twenty of them! The easiest way to tell what region your next location is by checking the Postal Code! Local Tip: Try to plan your day based on the location to avoid going back and forth but also the time to explore!

The address for the Louvre indicates it is in the first based on the Postal Code 75001

Dining

No suggestion is a bad suggestion! There are more Michelin starts around than regualar establishments which is a pleasant surprise. To get a real Parisian experience, stop at a local cafe, like the famous Cafe Deux Maggot, and sit outside to watch the people walk by and musicians play!

TransportatioN

To/From the Airport

How ambitious are you feeling? Besides the metro, Uber is the next cheapest form of transportation. However, traveling through the city, Taxi has the best rate to avoid the minimum in Uber. For the Metro, ensure your ticket covers the distance between the CDG Airport and Paris.
